A Collaborative Cafè Racer

Under the creative umbrella of Art Basel Miami Beach, Italian motorbike brand Ducati and mavens of ‘made in Italy’ style Italia Independent have lifted the lid on their first collaborative effort: the Ducati Scrambler Italia Independent.

Limited to 1077 units, this modern interpretation of the iconic Scrambler bears hand-crafted flourishes, the result of close development between the brands. A unique label stitched onto the leather seat, laser-etched numbering plus matte black colouring with exposed brushed aluminium elements and the custom-designed Night Copper hue adorning the wheels, front mudguard, frame and nose faring give this cafè racer a flavour its own.

To match the bike, Italia Independent have also produced Ducati Scrambler sunglasses. A novel accessory interwoven with the design language of, thus far, what will be a three year collaboration between the brands.
